Line Fourteen!

Sitting on a rock, airing out my feelings to the
universe
Acting like a peacock, only making matters that much worse;
Should I trumpet like an elephant emoting to the moon,
Or just ignore the warnings written in the rune?
Those stars can’t seal my future; it’s not inscribed in stone.
The possibilities are endless! Who could have known?
Gathering courage, spiral like an eagle after prey
Then gird my wings for whirlwind gales in realms far, far away.

But, hold it! Let's get practical! What's needed before I go?

Time to be tactical— I'll ask my friends what I should stow.
And in one breath, a honeyed word whispered low— dreams —

I'm giving you two lines today, since I'm dealing with the trauma of a crashed computer over the weekend. Thankfully my husband and daughter are letting me use their devices and I am limping along until I can replace my computer/brain. I am trying to engage my inner sage, but mostly feeling panicked and bereft of all my files. (Yes, I have a backup, and eventually will be able to put that backup on a new device; at least, that's the theory.)

About Me

I live with my family in Haiti (I used to call it Tecwil = The Country Where I Live in an attempt to preserve my anonymity and that of my adopted country - the earthquake changed that and everything else). I teach English to seventh and eighth graders at an international Christian school. The name of my blog comes from this song.
